marrone scuro

Its to my greatest amazement that a single strap change can breathe a fresh new breath. It made me wear the watch everyday and liking it more and more.

The combination...i love it. I can feel it in my plums. The golden hues bouncing of the light matching the dark of the strap.

When I first got this watch, I was in the midst of my Jules Verne craze, my radiomir got such a nice strap, I've got to have one for the mini fiddy too. But after awhile, I feel that this model is not as well made as the 26 mm version, it was still stiff, the colour is weirding me out and all. Mismatch I feel.

Thus the hunt for a new strap was needed as I was starting to hate the watch.

Enter dark chocolate.

Once again, these lovely straps are brought to you by:

Cannot believe the amount of product advertising I'm doing for them. They should pay me and sponsor me straps. Readers, when making this post, I'm not sponsored by anyone/company use these straps. I just feel that they are really affordable and have a certain level of quality or bang for buck, and this buck is banged really really hard.

The strap has one flaw. The buckle-hole is the pin hole rather than the bar shaped hole. So I have to carve one out myself.

Normally, I would just pierce it with a "-" sign screwdriver, just as this is not a hole punch, usually there will still be excess leather that isn't as pleasant as a hole punched out. So after the screw driver got through, all you had to do was to take a knife and cut out any leather that is not level with the strap. This should be the closest you can get to a punch.

This strap tapers to a...22mm? Luckily I have a fitting buckle.

Shots, more shots than clint eastwood's magnum:

The cab stand has this orange light that makes the weakly-lumed markers look nice.

I like the way the strap looks on my hands, everyone has a strap/bracelet that looks good on them, find that one and you will be grinning all the time, remembering the reason you fell in love with these ticking wrist accessories.

I feel:
My set-up is so cheap when compared to people who have those lovely equipment. The blue cloth is my bed sheet.

Till the day I get a proper camera. But doesn't really matter does it?
